About
Matt

I'm Matt, a wildlife and landscape photographer based in Vancouver, with roots in Regina.

Most of my work starts before the camera comes out: reading maps, checking weather, looking for quiet trails, and spending a lot of time waiting around with no guarantee anything will happen.

Range of Richmond is where I collect that work: birds, forests, coastlines, field notes, free-use images, and print or licensing projects.

I came to photography through film production, so I still think about light, framing, and timing. Outside, though, there is no reset. You get what the place gives you, if you are patient enough to notice it.

I grew up in Regina, Saskatchewan, and moved to Vancouver for the forests, coastlines, and access to longer days outside. The distance between those places still shapes the work: prairie weather, coastal light, and the habit of driving farther than planned.

Film work taught me to pay attention to frame edges, timing, and how light changes a scene. Photography gives me a slower version of that process, usually with more wrong turns and fewer people around.

Some days are productive. Some days are just scouting, bad weather, missed focus, or a trail that does not lead where the map suggested. That is part of the work too.

The site is built to keep that work accessible. Some images are available free for communities, creatives, and reference use. Others are available as prints or licensed files when a project needs something more specific.
